Application filed May 6,

To all whomit may concern Be it known that 1, WILLIAM Guano (luvonn, acitizen of Italy, residing at Gar: field, county of Bergen, and State ofNew Jersey, have invented certain new and useful lin iirovements in lVashboilers and Percolators, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in wash boilers and particularly totypes adapted to have the hot water percolating upon the clothes to bewashed therein.

The principal object of the invention is to provide a wash boiler ofthis type, the percolator of which is removable and in which the wash isprevented from being raised by the steam so that every article and partof the same is uniformly steamed or washed and the formation of or darkspots on the wash, which make the same unsightly. is

effectively avoided.

i-inother object of the invention is the provision of a wash boiler ofthis character in which the water is strained before coming in touchwith the wash, and which allows a convenient inspection of thepercolating process.

ii further object of the invention is the provision. of a Wash boilerequipped with a second removable and perforated bottom above the coneshaped and perforated foot of the percolator.

These and other like objects are attained by the novel construction andcombination of parts hereinafter more fully described and shown in theaccompanying drawing,

forming a material part of this disclosure,

and in which Figure 1 is a vertical section through a wash boilerconstructed according to my invention.

Figure 2 is a top plan View thereof taken 1921. Serial NO. 467,341.

a plurality of openings 21 is resting with its feet 22 upon the conicalfoot 17 of the percolator. y

This plate 20 presents a resting place for the articles 23 to be washed.

To the inner walls of the boiler are attached, near the upper endthereof, a plurality of superposed eyes 24 adapted to be engaged by thehooks 25 of a strainer cloth 26 having a central hole 27 for the passageof the tube 16.

Upon the upper end of the tube 16, which is provided with a threadedpart 28, a spray head nozzle 29 is secured by means of its band 30provided with inner screw thread, and handles 31 are convenientlyarranged at the outer wall of the'boiler.

in operation, the 'water mixed with a certain amount of soap or washingpowder is poured into the percolator and will collect at the bottom ofthe boiler between the same and the plate 20 afterthe latter has beenbrought into the boiler with its feet 22 restlug upon the conical footpart 17.

Then the clothes to be boiled are brought into the boiler to rest uponthe plate 20 whereupon the strainer cloth 26 is placed into the boilerwith its hooks engaging the corresponding number of eyes 24 at a distance from the cover corresponding to the quantity of wash to be boiled.When then the boiler is placed upon a hot stove the water will commenceto boil and percolate through the nozzle or cap 29 and through thestrainer cloth 26, and the wash, whereby the strainer cloth will collectall impurities contained in the water and wash. .The cloth 26 will alsoserve to hold the Wash down against the action of the steam so that allits parts are uniformly treated.
